Thought I could start a tip thread as I found a fantastic tip this morning.

I have a cream and navy rug and it usually takes about half an hour of vigorous cleaning to get it like new IYKWIM
but this morning
I decided to try something different.
I sprayed 1001 (squirty bottle) all over the rug, left it to soak for 5 mins and then steam cleaned it. It took 5 mins to get it like new and it looks lovely.

So hopefully someone may want to try it out for themselves
an if anyone else wants to share their tips, this thread is for you

Ooh, I must give that a go on out living room carpet! There is a nasty stain that I can't shift.

My tip is to get rid of burned on bit on cooking trays. Cover the marks with Shout washing spray and leave it for a few hours. The enzymes in the Shout (or vanish) eat away that the grease, and it is then easy to shift.
